Re: [Vonage] Vonage PSTN problem
I have continuous ringing problem even if the caller hangs up and I wonder if it has the same cause. I called from the Vonage to a pstn line, then I hung up the Vonage, the caller, after the pstn began to ring, but the pstn phone, the callee, continued to ring and ring and ring.
Now, while the pstn was STILL ringing, I called to it from my cellphone which got busy tone, but dial to and from Vonage was ok since the Vonage line had perfect dial tone. The only problem was a call from this dial tone is always very choppy.
The problem only occur when I call from Vonage to an unanswered phone. The pstn will eventually stop after about 2 minutes, or if the pstn is picked up by human or answer machine, or if Vonage box is power cycled.
I have both Vonage and pstn in the same room so I hear actual ringing, not through phone. They have the same telephone area code. The Vonage is through Comcast cable modem and its phone are directly connected to the Vonage Motorola box. The pstn is SBC land line and operated from wall jack; nothing to do with cable. |
